The Nets could use a boost at small forward, and they belive that sharp shooter Mike Miller could be that boost. Â
“The Nets have begun shopping around for an upgrade at small forward, but Larry Hughes — a name they’ve discussed lately — isn’t someone they consider a particularly good option. He’s more like a last resort. The man the Nets have set their sights on (since the start of the week, anyway) is Mike Miller, who has been a washout since arriving in Minneapolis, according to an NBA general manager familiar with the discussions. One snag, perhaps two: The Timberwolves are not in any rush to move the 28-year-old wing, even though Miller averages fewer than eight shots in 30 minutes per game, so they’re playing hardball.”
